MEXICO CITY, Nov. 2S. Provisional President Huerta summoned the managers of the Bank of London and the Mexico National hank before him today and explained to them it will he necessary to have their financial assistance to meet the obligations of the National railways on December 1. Interest payments of the railways due on that date aggregate 801. "00 pesos in gold. Failure to meet the payments in December would, it is claimed, give the right of foreclosure, but as such action would have to be brought in a Mexican court, the difficulties to be encountered are obvious. Like General Jose Ganzales Salas, after the battle of Rellano, in March 1912, General Antonio Rabago, military governor of the state of Tamaulipas, killed himself after losing the Victoria capital. The suicide of General Rabago is not admitted by the government, but the news was contained in a private telegram to his relatives here who do not question its authenticity. General Rabago as military governor was responsible for the garrison when Victoria was attacked by the rebels on November 17. It was not until this morning that the newspapers in the Mexican capital published any intimation that Victoria had been taken. Rabago is credited with having evacuated the city. The private message fails to give the details of his death. According to late dispatches, managers of the branches of the London, and Mexico National banks at Tampieo have been ordered to close their establishments and remove their archives to the Progress branch bank. London and Mexico at Monterey has been closed for several days. Industrial concerns In the interior of the republic are in a serious condition on account of the Inability to get from Tampieo the coal, coke and oil stored there. On to Chihuahua. EL PASO, Nov. 2S. The movement of the Villa troops south to attack the federal stronghold at Chihuahua began today when nearly one thousand men under General Rosalio Hernandez departed from Juarez.

Another troop train is being loaded at Juarez tonight and probably will depart southward early tomorrow. General Villa will leave tomorrow with the remainder of his troops, going toward Chihuahua. Rebel leaders believe tfi'ey will have a fight with the rebels at Valla Ahunda, 83 miles south of Juarez, as the federal troops which were defeated at Tierra Blanca, are marooned there. Bryan Has no Word. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. Secretary Bryan said tonight that no official communication had been received for several days from Rear Admiral Fletcher and John Lind, special American envoy in Mexico, regarding the conditions in the oil fields near Tampieo. This is taken in official circles as an assurance of no immediate cause of alarm.

He had letters read, and then spoke, favoring the force account method for the construction of the liases for the power machineiy and the installation of that machinery in the new Crosscut plant. One of his arguments was that the installation ofhydro-electrical machinery is a matter of such nicety of adjustment that no specifications can possibly be written to cover.

A tiny irregularity, though it may confoim stri-.-tly to the specifications, may ruin an expensive machine or necessitate co.-tly changes after it has all been assembled.

In the matter of the power line, the board di.-cusscd the changes which have been made, dechled that it is not right to demand payment for them from the farmers and passed the resolutions which are here printed, and which explain themselves, inasmuch as some of theimprovements-' have proven weak in practice, the board objected to charges for them.
